"My Heart Is Refusing Me" is the debut single by Swedish pop singer and songwriter Loreen, released as a digital download on 27 February 2011 in Sweden.

After Loreen's win in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 with "Euphoria", "My Heart Is Refusing Me" was released as her second international single from Heal.

[2] According to Brian O'Reilly from The Irish Independent, he said the song "has its similarities to its predecessor ("Euphoria") – the pulsing club beat, the drama of the interplay between light and dark and of course Loreen’s fantastic powerful vocals.

"[3] He also said "There is a unique dynamic to the song when the ancient chant-like backing vocals help give it an authenticity beyond the usual in the dance genre.

"[5] Samesame.co.au called the song one of the highlights of the album, saying "is a showcase of pedigree dance balladry – just like ‘Euphoria’ – it comes complete with a chorus that formulaically expands after periods of restraint verses."

When it was re-released in mid-2012, the song re-entered at sixty, and peaked at number twenty-two and ultimately stayed in the charts for eleven weeks.

The Tredje Chansen gathered the 32 most memorable songs in the past 10 years of Melodifestivalen which never reached the final and gave them one more chance to compete for a place in it.
